👆 I spent ages trying to make this work nicely on Android. Was a big learning curve with the new Unity input system and trying to make adaptive UI work on the old Unity UI system.

#ScreenshotSaturday of my last game prototyping. It turned out to be a lot more fun that expected. Had some great feedback and ideas that will hopefully turn it into something much better than I though it ever could be.

Building a second Steam page is going a lot faster than the first one 🥳

Working on a procedural building generator in order to place structures in the game world and make it more alive! #gamedev #indiegaming #medieval #citybuilder #browsergame #proceduralgeneration

My new top tip for indie developers is don't try and publish anything though Microsoft Partner Center 👎

Can someone who knows what they're talking about recommend which iPhone I should get to test and push an app to the apple app store. I'm in the UK and want cheap mixed with easy.

Thanks!

I still feel like a fraud when I make a post on my @craftypicklegames.bsky.social account and say "we" when it's only me there 🤔

mucking about with pixels and colours and stuff

sorry no screenshots but happy to share more info if anyone wants needs it.

I came up with a workflow for getting lots of #b3d #geonode objects such as trees into #unity with each one being a prefab.

I used a proxy object in blender and baked object position into the UVs.

A unity script gets the unique UV positions to place a prefab there on start.

Making things wobble is so satisfying 🤓

I finally hit release today on the game I started last year for my 3 year old daughter then decided to finish and ship!

It's been a lot more effort than I thought it would be getting a 'simple' game out on Steam and Mobile.

Big respect to everyone else who's doing or done it 💖

I dont think I could have slept at night if I'd not put that in

Total coincidence but it just so happens that vanilla newt is my favourite ice cream flavour 🤤

Texture Browser for Unity by Billowper old school texture browser for Unity

I made a thing!

"Texture Browser" is a Unity editor tool for... browsing and using textures! Inspired by @joewintergreen.com 's tool for UE, I made this for myself to work with Realtime CSG.

You can find it on Itch & GitHub!

Oooh I see ubisoft just released a tool to help design colourblind modes.

I'd love some feedback on my colourblind mode. I'm not really sure what colours to pick, or maybe I need more than one mode. Or maybe I should just let uses deactivate certain colours. Maybe the grass needs to change colour too 🤔

Thank you!!! Nice to see you here.

It's struggling a bit on Steam with the wishlists and marketing feels a bit of a dead end, I think its the wrong platform really. I'm getting it ready on Android today, want a link to the internal test?
